Nettle yarn

[bamv9]

How do I make nettle yarn? I have a lot of bunches of nettle leaves and it says that fiber can be directly extracted from them after harvesting but it says I can't. What gives?

They need to be freshly harvested nettles, not just leaves.

Figured I'd add the specifics.

Harvest the whole nettle plant with alt+A+I using the agriculture menu. Then thresh the nettles using alt+A+T. You'll get nettle fiber (plus the seeds and the leaves) that you can then spin into yarn.

I'm using version 3.82 and alt+A+I ( i ) isn't removing the nettle patch, trying every agriculture and textilecraft option has only got me nettle leaves.

I know I'm doing something wrong

Make sure the nettles are sufficiently mature; you can collect the leaves before they are mature enough to cut. (You should get a message about them being too young to harvest if you try to cut them with the agriculture skill.) Also, just in case, double-check that you have some kind of knife/sickle/sharp tool to do the cutting with.
